Chapter 1300 The Unstoppable War

Yudu.

Zhaoming Pavilion.

"What?" Mu Jing's pupils changed slightly when he heard Xin Zhao's report, "Are you sure?"

"It's been confirmed!"

Xin Zhao nodded.

"I already know about this!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath, waved his hands, and said: "Jing Wusi will continue to inquire in Jiangdong, and also confirm the news in Xudu. I want more detailed information!"

"Yes!" Xin Zhao nodded.

"In addition, keep an eye on the north, especially the places where Hebei and the Central Plains meet!" Mu Jing said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded again, then turned and left.

"Go and call Hu Changshi over!" Mu Jing said to a civil servant outside.

Hu Zhao's long history room is also in Zhaoming Pavilion.

In Zhaoming Pavilion, there is a lobby with many wing rooms, in which two offices are set up, and there are also some clerk rooms, and a small conference hall, and two of the offices, one is for Mujing and the other is for Hu Zhao.

Under the Minghou Mansion.

Minghou is the only one.

As the lord, Mujing is in charge of the entire Minghou Mansion.

And under the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, is the long history Hu Zhao.

Hu Zhao is regarded as the head of Zhaoming Pavilion, in charge of Zhaoming Pavilion's meetings, and has the power to restrict Mu Jing, which was given to him by Mu Jing, so as to prevent him from making inappropriate decisions when he is not impulsive.

Mu Jing's office is in the east, while Hu Zhao's long history house is in the west.

About a hundred steps back and forth.

So Hu Zhao came very quickly.

"What's the matter?" Hu Zhao is rarely polite to Mujing, and he can't be polite.

"Just got a message!"

Mu Jing pointed to the seat in front of him, asked Hu Zhao to sit down on his knees, and then said: "Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, will marry the daughter of Jiangdong Sun Jian!"

"When did it happen?" Hu Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Two days ago!"

Mu Jing said: "Cao Cao asked his eldest son, Cao Ang, to go to Jiangdong in person to ask his daughter, Sun Shangxiang, to marry him. After only two days of consideration, Sun Jian agreed!"

"Sun Wentai is really shameless!"

Hu Zhao snorted coldly: "The front foot is friendly with us, and we turn our faces and deny people with one trick. Back then, we supported their food and grass, and it was thrown into the Yangtze River!"

"no way!"

Mu Jing smiled wryly: "Our strategy is very good, but after all, it is not as good as the temptation Cao Cao gave him. The in-law relationship is relatively stable. It is normal for Sun Wentai to be tempted!"

"If you were willing to marry Sun's daughter back then, maybe the situation would be different!" Hu Zhao glanced at Mujing resentfully.

At first Mujing was asked to take a concubine.

In addition to Wang Yun's orphan daughter, Huang's daughter, there is another object, that is Sun's daughter.

But Mu Jing firmly opposed it.

Sooner or later, he will be an enemy of Jiang Dong, marry a woman, and when the time comes, how will you let Sun's daughter come out? Although everything is for the sake of the overall situation, Mu Jing still can't do such a thing.

After all, not cruel enough.

If you are cruel enough, no matter what, you should form an in-law first, and after using this relationship, you will be left alone, and you can deal with it as you like, and even become ambitious after killing. This is also a normal thing. After all, in history, Liu Bei also did this.

But Mu Jing is almost as cruel as this, and those who grew up under the red banner are not so cruel.

"Even now, I don't regret it!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "Using a woman to maintain the interests between the two princes is the most dangerous, there is no need for it, and there is no need for it!"

Hu Zhao thought about it, but had to admit that what Mu Jing said was somewhat reasonable.

"Then what is the master going to do now?"

Hu Zhao took a deep breath and asked.

"Things have already happened, we can only deal with them!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said, "Cao Cao's desire to start a war can't be changed, and I'm afraid we can't avoid it either!"

Even if he wanted to hide, someone would always pull him in.

"Cao Cao wants to marry Sun Jian because he wants to use Jiangdong's power to suppress us so that we can't send troops and watch him dominate the north!"

Hu Zhao pondered for a while, and said, "But does he really have such strength to rule the north?"

"Don't underestimate him!"

Mu Jing squinted his eyes: "If you take the initiative to fight, you must have confidence. As long as he successfully takes over Hebei, Liu Xuande will not be able to stop him. The trend of unifying the north has already been achieved. As long as Jiang Dong is here, we will be able to fight." It is difficult to send troops to the north, this is a check and balance!"

Although Liu Bei has the ability of the city, he is still not as good as Cao Cao, the hero of the ages. Youzhou is still a place of bitter cold, and there is no place to hold on. Once the Hebei barrier is lost, he is definitely not Cao Cao's opponent.

Whether it is about ruling the world.

Still fighting on the battlefield.

History has already told Mu Jing that Liu Bei is not Cao Cao's opponent, the only thing Liu Bei is better than Cao Cao is that he is wretched and developed, he can endure what ordinary people can't, this is his ability.

Being able to surrender to Cao Cao over and over again is not something that ordinary princes can do.

Therefore, Liu Bei is capable of accomplishing great things.

But Cao Cao has been a hero throughout the ages. Although this person does not have the general trend of the world, he is good at grasping the general trend of the world and has the courage to do great things.

"Unstoppable war!"

Mu Jing sighed: "We can only go up!"

"But now the army?" Hu Zhao frowned.

Although he was unwilling to make a big move before, but now that he has already made a move, he is not willing to waste all his efforts in the whole army.

"Then delay!"

Mujing said ruthlessly, "Drag first!"

He squinted his eyes and continued to add: "This battle will definitely not end in a short time. As long as it drags on until our entire army is over, everything will be reversed!"

"At the same time, speed up the speed of the army's reorganization, and expressly send orders to the various military departments, telling them that the war is very close to us, and if we are not prepared, we will be beaten!"

Mu Jing said firmly.

"it is good!"

It's not an internal matter, it's unanimous to the outside world, Hu Zhao never questioned Mu Jing's decision.

"At the Zhengshitang, you personally supervise and start preparing military rations. You must build support granaries in the frontlines of Xiazhou, Nanzhou, and Yongzhou. Once you want to go to war, you must first ensure the logistics!"

Mu Jing said: "We don't have the final say on when to fight. Depending on the situation, we can delay it for a day. If we can't avoid it, we must ensure that we can quickly deploy troops and ensure logistical supplies!"

"I personally supervise this matter!"

Once a war is about to start, the efficiency of the Minghou Mansion will be very high. Some people will have opinions on some internal policies and need to discuss them, but externally, they have always been united. This is an advantage that the Minghou Mansion has been invincible over the years.

…………

News from Jiangdong can reach the southwest, and it can also spread back to Hebei.

Hebei's response was not slow.

"It's time for war!"

Yuan Shao wore a long robe, with his hands behind his back, stood on the highest wall of Ye City, looked to the south, and murmured, "We can't stop this war from coming!"

From a long time ago, he knew that there must be a battle between him and Cao Mengde.

But he always thought so.

The war will be initiated by oneself, and it will be sent south by oneself.

As long as he wiped out the north, he would not hesitate to send troops south, destroy Cao Cao, unify the Central Plains, and then slowly clean up Jiangdong and Southwest.

But I didn't expect that Liu Bei in Youzhou was a hard bone, and he had been gnawing on it all these years, but he still couldn't gnaw it off.

In addition, the defeat of the Guanzhong Campaign.

It is also a very important reason.

This is also a key to the reversal of strength between him and Cao Cao.

If the emperor is in his hands.

His strength will expand rapidly, holding Jizhou, Qingzhou, most of Bingzhou, and the emperor commanding the world, he can even go south and north at the same time.

It's a pity that the defeat in this battle cost him a lot, and he still hasn't got his own benefits.

Xu Du came the news.

The Son of Heaven is in the court, and he wants to issue an edict to summon himself to the court and take the position of general. The Son of Heaven has an imperial decree to summon him back to the court, which is also a matter of course.

I have only a choice, to return, or not to return, to return is a death, Cao Mengde must kill himself and then hurry up, if not to return, that is to disobey the order and disrespect, and kill the nine clans.

War is inevitable.

There is another news.

The Cao family wants to form an marriage relationship with the Jiangdong Sun family, which means that Cao Cao has solved the last hidden danger of instability when he sent his army northward. In the southwest, Jiangdong restrains the southwest.

Even if the Mu army is strong, they don't dare to move north easily.

In this way, the war in the north is already inevitable.

"My lord, the war will come sooner or later!"

Tian Feng stood behind him with a quiet expression. As the person in charge of Hebei news, he personally passed the news to Yuan Shao. He had already made plans when he heard the news, and said with his hands together: "We Jizhou has already made preparations. If he wants to fight, he will fight. In this troubled world, there is only peace that can be fought, not peace that can be sought!"

Jizhou was originally the granary of the world.

Both population and food are rich.

War is costly.

"you're right!"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and his voice became cold and severe: "Cao Mengde wants to fight, so why should I be afraid? I have never lost to him since I was a child, and I will never lose this battle!"

Yuan Shao got to know Cao Cao when he was a teenager, and they were good friends in the era of knight-errants. At that time, they were both hot-blooded teenagers, and their ambition was to serve the court and enter the official career at the same time.

Over the years, I have come to the same position again and again, and I have changed my position again and again.

They have already gone the same, but different path.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Shao called civil servants and military generals to hold a pre-war meeting.

"Cao Mengde is ambitious. He coerced the emperor to command the princes, and the party fought against dissidents. He has long regarded me as a thorn in the flesh. Now, in the name of the court, he wants to force me to fight. I have no way to escape. I must fight!"

Yuan Shao's eyes swept across, and he was quite relieved that all civil and military personnel were respected.

Over the past few years, Hebei has seen an endless stream of civil servants and military generals, a lot of talents, and a prosperous scene.

face war.

They are never afraid either.

"Lord!"

Jushou came out in person.

In the Hebei regime, Yuan Shao was the lord, the civil servants were mainly Jushou, the generals were Ju Yi, and Tian Feng was the strongest military advisor.

Among the three carriages, Tian Feng was most trusted by Yuan Shao.

And Ju Yi is the most ostentatious.

The most stable and the most low-key, but Jushou.

Ju Shou cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Since the war is inevitable, we must act first. The court wants to call the Lord back to the court, but to force the Lord to rebel. The emperor's edict is an edict and should be respected, but the emperor may not be the emperor. !"

"go on!"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.

This is a difficult knot to untie.

Disrespecting the imperial decree, Yuan Shao was inherently at a disadvantage. Regardless of the small reputation, sometimes it can determine the direction of the war.

"My lord, I forgot, the emperor's position is wrong!"

Jushou said: "At the beginning, the son of heaven killed his aunt, killed his elder brother, and colluded with Xiliang bandits to obtain the throne. His throne is respected by the world's knowledgeable people. Now it is just a name missing. It cannot be denied. If we can Give the people of the world a name, and you will be able to turn against the emperor!"

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Shao suddenly understood what Jushou meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Well said, if you didn't say it, I almost forgot that he, Liu Xie, is not an orthodox emperor at all!"

He almost forgot.

He still has an ace in his hand.

The son of Liu Yu.

Liu He.

When Liu He was cut off from Youzhou, it was to serve as a backup for the emperor. As long as he fought in Guanzhong and killed the emperor, he would be able to support Liu He and inherit the great man.

He can do it by relying on the emperor to command the princes.

"My lord, for the current policy, we should arrange for Liu He to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and then use the name of the imperial court to crusade against the false emperor and take righteousness away from Cao Cao!"

Tian Feng also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "In this way, our Hebei soldiers must be united as one!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Shao nodded: "The two of you arrange this matter personally, as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

Tian Fengju took the order.

"Ju Yi!"

"exist!"

Ju Yi stood up, his burly body exuding a fierce aura.

"The battle is imminent. You are going to lead your army southward, stationed on the bank of the Yellow River, and prepare to capture the white horse and win the first battle!"

"promise!"

Ju Yi nodded.

Once the war broke out, Baima would become a battleground for military strategists.

"Yan Liang!"

"exist!"

"Cao Jun goes north, the north will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, Liu Xuande is also an ambitious person, you lead the army to station at Jieqiao, no matter what!"

Yuan Shao said fiercely: "Even if the whole army is wiped out, you still have to block them, give me enough time, defeat Cao Jun, and then return to the north!"

He didn't have the slightest chance of luck.

Once Cao Bureau sends troops.

The north will definitely not stay still. When the time comes, there will be a big war, so we must prepare for the worst of the two-front battle, concentrate the main force, defeat one side, and then fight the other side. This is the strategy.

"promise!"

Yan Liang stood up and bowed his hands to accept the order: "Please don't worry, my lord, as long as I am alive, I will never let Liu Bei's army cross the boundary bridge for half a step!"

"Wen Chou!"

"exist!"

"You lead the army into Qingzhou to assist Yuan Tan. Once the war starts, immediately send troops from Qingzhou to attack Xuzhou, and take Xuzhou at any cost!"

Yuan Shao stared at the battle plan, it was not his arrangement on a whim, but a strategic deployment that had been hovering in his mind for the past two years and discussed countless times with Tian Feng.

At this time, it comes in handy.
